Trailer wiring ?
I have a 07 Ultra. I have already installed an isolator harness from Electrical Connection. So now I have a square plug "going" to the trailer. It has six wires ...Ground, Right turn, Left turn, running lights, brake lights and an extra one that I think is used for accessories. Most/all of the trailers I have looked at have 4 wire flat plugs. I really don't want to add lights to a new trailer.Any help would be appreciated.Wouldn't you think that if they are building trailers to be pulled by bikes they would wire them that way

RE: Trailer wiring ?
accoding to j&p you may need the (run-turn-brake module OEM Kit 69461-06 from harley davidson). don't know for certain. Hope this helps.
however my bushtec trailer does have a flat 6 wire plug on it. So it's gonna make a difference on which brand of trailer you pull.
another forum may help you with this. they deal almost exclusively with motorcycle trailers. I did a lot of research there & here beforeI bought my trailer.

Since I haven't got any wiring on the bike yet.
I have the 6 wire square on the trailer and I'm switching that to the 5 wire round "Plug"
I couldn't find a 6 to 5 adaptor so I just got new wiring from TimeOut Trailers
I'll lose my inside trailer light, but that why they make flashlights.

The Harley Davidson Bike Wiring Kit (on the left) is $49.00.
5 wire plugs (round end) + wires are $19.00. We have either the bike end (pictured) or the trailer end available. Plug alone is $10 each end or $19 with wires.

You don't have to be sick anymore. You no longer have to rely on your "seems to me" conclusions. A bagger can pull a trailer with ease and without incurring any handling issues.Do a search, you will find hundreds of posts about how well the bikes handle while pulling a properly setup trailer.

Don't know if this will help you...Give him a call. Nice guy and will give you the honest opinion to your questions. I spent about an hour and a half with him trying to decide on what lights I needed/wanted.

As for the wireing the only difference between 4 wire and 5 wire is that the turn signals are seperated from the brake lights. 6 wire adds an accessory 12volt wire.
Ride Safe,
